Peace on earth is lettered in gold across a long white stoneware tray, with sculpted holly leaves and clusters of gold berries at two corners and a gold line following the rim. The coordinating tidbit bowl has a scalloped gold edge and sits at one end for olives, nuts or a small pour of dip. The tray runs 5 inches by 13 inches and the bowl is 2 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches across. Hand wash both and keep them out of the microwave. Use the two together for a Christmas Eve cheese board or a bar cart with cocktail napkins. Mud Pie gives you something a hostess will use before your coat is off.
